Mum & Dad.
It's a paradox.I,ve been posting quite a bit recently.I was going to visit & comment on your blogs......(I have a backlog).Do you find that visiting & commenting takes up more time than actually creating your own posts?Anyway, I had set aside this Saturday morning to do this l.However, a charming roofer from Bradford came this morning at 9am.......to check a leak.He was straight out of Last Of The Summer Wine!Soooo.....he was chatting for 3 hours & the morning has gone!
Me & Cathy are off to Manchester this afternoon & staying-over until Sunday ( It's Don & Margarets Silver Wedding gig).I will try & catch up on my return.
Next week I visit Bob in Bacup to help him set up his own blogspot.Also on Wednesday I stop over at Steve's in Shaw......a pissup in Royton!

This is a captured still from an 8mm film.It was taken in Poland in 1965.
My Dad had been away from his home village since WW2 ,25 years previously.
My Grandma was dying.He had come home to see her for the last time.
In this photo he is pointing out to my Mum a stream he used to play in as a child.

Great post, Tony!
Now, that was a confession I guess.;)
Lovely picture of your parents. And I like the story as well.
And I love "The Last of The Summer Wine".
Have a good weekend,

You're not alone in finding it takes ages to read and comment on the blogs of others. You just have to stick with it. They're too good to miss!

Happy Anniversary to Don and Margaret!
As for visiting other blogs, I set aside a morning or afternoon every other day or so and drop in o favorites and explore new ones I found along the way. I *never* make it through an entire day's new postings, and don't even try to!
I've just visited Poetikat's, for example, and spent a few minutes googling old films and history from the 1940s. Just as interesting as writing a post of my own, really.

It can be frustrating trying to post to your own blog while trying to keep up with others' blogs at the same time, as I lamented in a recent post of my own.
And I spend about the same amount of time on drafts vs. reading the other blogs...and I'm not prone to comment on all of them, either. Then again...it does depend on how far behind I get.
Yes, I find its the reading and commenting which takes the time. It is, though, the best bit for me
But you are doing a quality blog, sir. Keep up the good work!
What a lovely still.
Your blogs is, as usual, full of inspiration and I want to wish you a Happy Easter!
